Blessings During Rough Times

Today was not a good day and yet I had a lot of blessings throughout this day as well.  First the yuck:

*While I pushed the button to retract the cord on my hairdryer the very large plug slammed into my nose.
*I set off the security alarm at church today and I was the only staff member on campus.
*2 major spills in my classroom today (I tried to be ok about it per my blog post from yesterday).
*Very worrisome news from a good friend.
*In general, extremely exhausted from the week.

Blessings:
*My nose is not broken, swollen or visually bruised.
*My dear friend brought me a frozen coffee drink this morning.
*I did not get arrested for setting off the alarm and it was remotely turned off since I was too stupid to figure it out myself.
*The first part of my work day ended much earlier than I thought it would, which gave me a chance to take a cat nap before the second part of my work day.
*After piano lessons, the mom of my students brought me a dinner to go.  I cried happy tears.

I am blessed.  It reminded me of this great song:

Plus, I'm your friend (to put under the blessings list, I might add).
